An anticipated listing of the proposed endangered tricolored bat in September 2023 came and went. However, the USFWS released updated 2024 guidelines in March and draft tools in April laying the groundwork for an endangered species listing status for the tricolored bat. Join in a discussion to explore implications, anticipated requirements, and voluntary conservation measures which may apply if the tricolored is listed in “late summer 2024”.
